Establishing the Conditions: What makes a great curriculum? What does the research say?

Building the Knowledge Structure: Principles of effective instruction, theory and practice

Exploring the Possibilities: How do we deliver stretch and challenge? Mode A vs Mode B teaching

Two sessions are being offered and will be hosted at Philips High School, Higher Lane, Whitefield, M45 7PH.
